Evergreen常青

A specimen essay — a note about keeping notes, and about letting the tools carry the ceremony.

A five-chapter tour of astro-inkbrush, the git-backed CMS engine this garden pairs with — and this very site is its demo: in editing mode, every page here is editable in place.

A three-chapter tour of every shipped component — and, at the same time, a live demonstration of how a hub note with chapters works.

The raw pigment palette and the two semantic contexts built on it — reading column and browse shelf — the light/dark discipline, the audited contrast, and the single entry point for site identity.

A pair of submodules in your site repo, three stylesheet imports, one line of siteMarkdown for the whole Markdown pipeline — and you have a garden.

Every element of the markdown pipeline performs once on this page — the page itself is their test bed.

The engine edits, the paper looks, the site is you — who owns what, and why the lines sit where they do.
